Vector Color Line Screen Effect
Today’s post will show off how to combine the Line Screen Regionize image operation with the Vectorizer to create a vector color line screen effect.
Modifying Yesterday’s Smart Screening to Emulate a Woodcut Screen Effect
Yesterday we showed how to use the paint synthesizer to build a smart random screen halftone effect. today we will show how a simple editing change in the paint synthesizer can change the effect to emulate a woodcut screening or litho print effect.
Building a Smart Halftone Screen Using the Paint Synthesizer
The real power of Studio Artist is that it’s an extremely user configurable environment for building custom visual effects. In today’s post, we’ll take a look at using the paint synthesizer to build smart halftone screens, which can then be used in a PASeq to build custom halftone screening effects.
Simple MSG LineScreen Halftone Effect
Since we’ve been on a thread with recent posts discussing exotic halftone processing using space filling curves as halftone screens, i thought it would be instructional to put together a much simpler traditional line screen color halftone effect. This post will show you how to build this simple MSG effect, and might provide some additional insight into the more exotic processing used in the examples shown over the past few posts.
Extending a Line Screen Effect with the Vectorizer
Yesterday’s post showed how to use the Vectorizer to convert a flat color region line screen image processing effect into a smooth anti-aliased vector output effect. In today’s post we will show how to use the Vectorizer to extend the same line screen effect generated in yesterday’s post, adding additional abstraction to the final effect.
Vector Line Screen Effect
This post will discuss how to use the Line Screen Regionize image operation effect to create a stylized line screen rendering of the source image. We will then use the Vectorizer to convert the raster line screen image processing effects into a vector effect. Vector effects have smooth anti-aliased edges, and can also be output as eps or svg vector files for resolution independent printing.
Circular Block Printing Effect
See the full gallery on Posterous The first image in the gallery above shows off a circular block print effect. This post will discuss how the effect was put together. We’ll also take a look at a cool trick used in the effect that allows you to convert raster image processing effects that generate solid color regions with hard aliased edges into vector renditions with anti-aliased edges.
